Bloomberg reports that Apple's plans for smart home products include devices, sensors, and cameras codeveloped in partnership with LG.
Apple's upcoming smart home products, co-developed with LG, are at least a few more months away. According to Bloomberg, the products include devices, sensors, and cameras. LG will handle manufacturing and product support for these items.
The products in development include a smart deadbolt lock, indoor and outdoor security cameras, and a floodlight camera, as reported by Bloomberg. These will be branded as LG despite Apple's involvement.
An Apple Home event is expected to take place on October 13, with a new Apple TV, upgraded HomePod mini, and the debut of the Apple Home Hub. Additional home accessories may be announced soon, but no further details are available.
